1969 Shelby Mustang GT500 Coupe Vehicle Profile

Coupe

This is the fastest Mustang one could buy in 1968. It was identified as the R code Cobra Jet Ram Air model and features a modified overhead valve V-8 engine that displaces 428 cubic-inches and produces 335 horsepower.

It was built with a four-speed close ratio manual transmission, traction-lock differential, sport deck rear seat, power disc front brakes and power steering.

The car shipped new to Friendly Ford in Nashville, Tennessee. The current owner acquired the car 35 years ago (as of 2012) as a basket case and restored over several years to its as-original condition.
